How to associate projects and saved games to Pipmak on Windows

Introduction

As of version 0.2.6, the Windows version of Pipmak includes icons for projects and saved games. However, it still does not automatically associate the icons to these files and register as the default application that will open when these files are double-clicked. To accomplish this by hand, follow the steps explained here.

1.

Create a new text file and paste the following into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakProj]
@="Pipmak Project"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakProj\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Pipmak 0.2.6\\Pipmak.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakProj\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakProj\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakProj\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Pipmak 0.2.6\\Pipmak.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pipmak]
@="PipmakProj"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakSavedGame]
@="Pipmak Saved Game"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakSavedGame\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Pipmak 0.2.6\\Pipmak.exe,2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakSavedGame\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakSavedGame\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PipmakSavedGame\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Pipmak 0.2.6\\Pipmak.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pipsave]
@="PipmakSavedGame"

2.

Edit the four lines starting with @="C:\\Program Files\\Pipmak 0.2.6\\Pipmak.exe to reflect where you actually installed Pipmak.

3.

Save the file as pipmak.reg (or any other name ending in .reg).

4.

Double-click the file. The registry editor will launch, asking you to confirm whether to apply the contents of the file to the registry. Click Yes.

5.

You may have to log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
